To even do an interview with anyone in that state shows lack of concern and respect.Brendan Behan was in a depressed state and alcohal was destroying his mind at that stage,and body.Poor man.God bless him.💚
Diabetes also
Unfortunately to try & catch him sober for an interview would be like looking for hen's teeth. But it never took his intelligence & the special way he had of describing things & how he saw the world. ❤️🇮🇪
I am here after listening to a song from Mikis Theodorakis based on his poem Open The Window Softly. What a great song. I am a proud Greek and I love Ireland.
Amen from one Greek to another x
A broken man at this stage rip Brendan!
So sad. My mother drank herself to death. It's so very sad to watch someone drown their pain.
It’s equally true that the interviewers were, in a backhanded way, mocking him.
Mocking him because he was mediocre, an appallingly embarrassing stereotype, and an angry drunk. Utterly forgettable.
@@TodayFreedom But you like watching him? Stay off the treacle:)
@@TodayFreedom Philistine..
Forgetting his talent for a moment, it's so hard to watch a human being in this condition - that it might be a glimpse into the short life he lived and the terrible alcohol addiction he suffered.
It’s a shame I agree, i believe he was a depressed man,
Like myself I cannot get through a day and deal with my own mind without something to numb reality, but Brendan could have created a lot more before he died if he could have coped with a sober mind
✌️❤️🙏
@@theliamofella and Charles Pukeowski, I feel you two and I've been in the same shitty boat as you both have but thankfully I've run my ass aground and once I got past the physical addiction part which was fuckin real bad being sober was a freedom I couldn't have imagined possible. A big thing for me was to stop telling myself I couldn't take reality or I couldn't deal with my own mind. I realized that if I was telling myself I couldn't "deal" without being smashed or high enough to hunt ducks with a rake that sure as shit . . . I couldn't or wouldn't be able to "deal" with squat. What I was telling myself was coming true, telling myself that my mind was shit, well, my mind became shit. There's just no way out of that shit hole with this kind of thinking. I started telling the opposite story. I started telling the story that my mind was good, or good enough and that the "shit" was probably the alcohol I was dumping into my body, into my head and just feeding the stupid story I was telling myself. Yeah, I love drinking and yeah reality can suck alotta the time, but with a clear head I found out my mind is a helluva lot stronger than both the drink and reality. I make my own goddam reality. Just sayin'.
John Feeney yeah it is. It got him early in life unfortunately. Died far too young. I visit his grave the odd time & say a prayer not that I’m religious but from one dub to another kind of thing.
Well he did also have a stutter that he's clearly fighting here- not all of this behavior is for the drink.
"Οι Ήρωες προχωρούν στα σκοτεινά"! Αιωνία σου η μνήμη μεγάλε αδερφέ Brendan!
Brendan said "One drink is one too many and twenty drinks not enough"
My Grandad, a native Irish men, only informed me of this man today. I'm studying my PGCE Secondary Drama Course at BCU, and I'm shocked he isn't on the Drama Curriculum.
Heartbreaking. Drink is a curse.
Uno dei più grandi scrittori di tutti i tempi.
The stunning brilliance of Brendan Behan's life, cut short by hard drinking and the wildlife. Another most brilliant Dublin man and the greatest rocker of all time Phil Lynott also lost his young life, caused by that bad wildlife. But what kind of men would Brendan and Phill have been if they had led the quiet life, their works may not have been as great Both men paid a very heavy price for fame and glory.. I still miss both Brendan & Phil and I think of them all of the time
I love Brendan behan but that's a sad interview ..the borstal boy great read. Great talented writer
Ah Brendan, among them Workers Republicans,at home with your non sectarian comrades.....💚☘️🇮🇪🙏🏻
Imagine if he got the help he needed. This is such a sad thing to see, a brilliant talent destroyed by drink . He died aged 41, 41. 41.
He didn't die ,he killed himself
@@jameslarkin8494 drugs and alcohol are all used by creative people even in the advertising world
@@davecollins9075 Ironically, one of the most successful advertising campaigns of the 50s in the UK was

(for the Milk Marketing Board).
@@citizen1163 And??
@@davecollins9075 There's no 'and'.
What a shame, may he Rest in Peace. A great man, but tragic!
Passed away at 41. No age :(
God rest him..xx
Behan had untreated diabetes that affected his brain and his speech, was often mistaken for drunkenness. His intelligence, humour and articulation still shone through. He suffered diabetic blackouts and diabetic comas that caused damage. The drinking probably caused the diabetes.
Poor guy - looks completely Stocious and in that aspect of alcoholism which looks like it's getting into the severe stage.
Can hardly string a sentence together. So sad.
A good turn out. He was and is loved. Was that his parents at the end?
Yes
@belfast jack Any idea where in Belfast this interview was recorded?
I think this is in the gravediggers in Glasnevin
Sad to see somebody in self destruct mode. Alcohol always poor therapy.
How old would he be in the video ?
He was 40 or 41. In another place this interview is said to take place in 1964. As he died in March 1964, this would have been just weeks before his death. But his birthday was in February, so he could have been 40 or 41.
Pure genius.
The booze ruined another influential Irish man
Errr; a commie and lackie to Putin, trying to destroy our economy.
That's one point of view. Another point of view would or, could be that it liberated him. And another : it loved him. And yet another : it made him...
Without the drink he couldn't have written
I love drink 🍺 myself but there’s only so much you can drink. Where did he get the capacity for it ?!? Did he not get tired of it ? How was he so wealthy?
Alcohol, the curse of the Irish.. Behan, would have been great , if he could have just smocked grass.. Accepted addiction
In Ireland.
Imange what this man could have done without drink or maybe not.
He was a drinker with a writing problem.
No drink. No behan
Very little. The myth had no bearing on the reality. Behan was known for being Behan. That’s all he was.
@@TodayFreedom his uncle Peadar Kearney wrote A/The Soldiers Song (Ireland's National Anthem) & Down By The Glenside. His brother Dominic wrote many popular rebel songs.
Father Matthew got 3million irish to take the PLEDGE...
Condisending remakes for the British interviewer but the crumlin man jests at his distian
It’s interesting how many Irish desire a 32 county but when the interviewer speaks with a NI accent he’s British. The interviewer was interviewing a drunk and making the best of it. Lose the chip on your shoulder.
@@FrankieSIM76 don't be condescending yourself. you could clearly read the list of what coz meant.
